You should install and use it. Though, perhaps you only have to configure the MANPATH variable...

No, you don't need to do that. That's just a way to transfer a bunch of files...

As you are using ssh, you will (by default) be tranferring to your home directory, though you can change to wherever you want/can.

Cygwin is, basically, a UNIX environment fot windows. You should use UNIX paths as if you were logged on a UNIX server. But Cygwin is not an emulator, so you will be using your real NTFS File System. In my case, my home directory from the point of view of cygwin is "/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/grial", but for windows, it's "C:\Documents and Settings\grial"

Thanks for your patience and for bearing with me.

Finally, to understand those commands, you will need to understand the use of pipes. Just as an introdunction, if yoy have this command:
command1 | command2
Then, command1 oputput will be redirected to command2 input.

ppmtopgm
ppmtopgm(1) General Commands Manual ppmtopgm(1)
NAME
ppmtopgm - convert a portable pixmap into a portable graymap
SYNOPSIS
ppmtopgm [ppmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces a portable graymap as output. The output is a "black and white" rendering of the original
image, as in a black and white photograph. The quantization formula used is .299 r + .587 g + .114 b.
Note that although there is a pgmtoppm program, it is not necessary for simple conversions from pgm to ppm , because any ppm program can
read pgm (and pbm ) files automatically. pgmtoppm is for colorizing a pgm file. Also, see ppmtorgb3 for a different way of converting
color to gray. And ppmdist generates a grayscale image from a color image, but in a way that makes it easy to differentiate the original
colors, not necessarily a way that looks like a black and white photograph.
QUOTE
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is gray, and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is a quantization error.
